Company Sale
Information collected through our Site is considered a trade secret owned by us. As the owner of such information, we may disclose or sell such information as an asset of the company in conjunction with the sale to a third party of our company or a portion of our assets.
Aggregate Information
We collect aggregate information about you and your use of our Site whenever you visit our Site (See “Information About You” above). For instance, we may collect various forms of “click stream” information such as entry and exit points for our Site (i.e., referring URLs or domains), site traffic statistics, page views, impressions, and operating system and browser type. In addition, when you request pages on our Site, our servers automatically log your IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the internet.
We also use third-party software that tracks traffic directed to the Site from affiliate Sites and the purchases that result from this traffic. This information is aggregated and is not tied to an individual purchase.
This aggregate information generally will not identify you or be correlated to you individually for external purposes. We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, sell, or otherwise disclose or use any and all aggregate information provided that such information does not reveal your identity. When we share such information with other companies, it is not traceable to any particular user, and will not be used to contact you. If we do correlate any aggregate information to you, such information will be treated like any other personal information under this statement.
Tracking Tools
We collect personal and other information about users over time and across different websites when you use this Site or the Sites offered on the Site. We use browser-based “cookies” or similar technologies to process your requests, and/or to analyze your visiting patterns, monitor traffic patterns on the Site, and to optimize and enhance your online experience on the Site. “Cookies” are pieces of information stored within your computer’s or device’s Internet browser that automatically identify your browser to our server whenever you interact with the Site. Such technology is a common feature of many web sites and is necessary in order for certain features of our site to function properly or in order to provide an online Site to you. We also use cookies to help us understand the content that you are shown while visiting our Site. We may combine information which we obtain through the use of cookies with other information, including through IP addresses, pixel tags, a unique identifier we have assigned to you, or with information we obtain from third party sources.
Additionally, the Site is integrated with other sites that may collect data based upon your interaction with the Site and may also track your interaction with other sites with which you share information. However, we do not collect any of this information and refer you to the following relevant third-party sites for further information and/or if you wish to opt out of the information these sites may collect:
Managing Tracking Tools
You may customize the browser settings to notify you when a cookie is sent or to disable cookies altogether. Please check your browser for instructions on how to make these adjustments. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of the Site’s essential features, we recommend that you allow them on your browser. Your browser may also have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These browser features are not uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.
Links to Other Sites
Please be aware that we may provide links to third-party web sites or our promotional partners’ sites as a service to our users, and that we are not responsible for the content or information collection practices of those pages. Please note that these web sites’ privacy policies may differ from ours. We encourage you to review and understand their privacy practices before providing them with information.
Children
Our Site is intended for a general audience. However, it is not designed nor intended to collect personal information from children under the age of 18. To respect the privacy of children and to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, children under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the Site. We ask that parents supervise their children while online.
Security
We are committed to safeguarding and securing your personal information. To maintain data accuracy, prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of, and ensure the appropriate use of your personal information, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures. Such procedures represent our best efforts to maintain security and we work continuously to enhance security. When we ask for credit card data, it is transferred through PayPal over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line provided you are using an SSL-enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels through the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. You will know that you are in “secure mode” when the padlock or key icon in the lower-right-hand or lower-left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the web Site address will change from “http” to “https.”
Choice/Opt-Out
We will not use or share your personal information in ways unrelated to the uses described above without first notifying you and offering a choice. We will also provide you the opportunity to opt-out at any time of certain or all contact from us. You may also choose to change information associated with your account, including your registration name and address, shipping and home addresses, method of payment, and user name and password. Changes to this information can be made through your user profile or user account. In addition, as noted above, we may use your e-mail address and other contact information provided to us through the Site to send notifications to you. If you do not want to receive such notifications (with the exception of those related to your purchases on the Site), you can change your privacy preference or remove yourself from our notification e-mail list through your user account or user profile or through the designated link at the bottom of every email you receive from us. To stop any tracking of all of your personal information, you must delete your user account and cease using the Site entirely. If you have any difficulty with opting out, please email us at impact@missionmattersgroup.com.

We strive to keep your personal information accurate. We will provide you with access to your personal information, including making reasonable efforts to provide you with online access to your subscription or registration data so that you may review, update or correct your information on the Site. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections. To access your personal information, go to the settings/edit profile page either on the Site. If you cannot access your information on the Site, please send your request to impact@missionmattersgroup.com. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, would be extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required.
Notwithstanding any preference that you select, we may contact you from time to time to provide services that you have requested or for customer service matters, such as responding to service-related inquiries, updating our policies or notifying you of changes to existing services.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our use of your information, or if you need help changing or deleting your information, you can e-mail us at impact@missionmattersgroup.com.
